This research presents a method for data-driven product development in mechatronic systems, suggesting enhancements to sustainability and efficiency.
Current legislative frameworks reflect a societal consensus to prioritize sustainability, incentivizing industries to integrate environmental goals into strategic objectives. Embedding sustainability into product development requires appropriate methods and tools. Technological advancements enable the utilization and analysis of operational machine data to support the development of new generations of sustainable systems and the conduction of Life-Cycle-Assessments. This research presents a method to support data-driven product development to reduce the environmental impact of new product generations of complex mechatronic systems during operation, addressing key factors such as the technical system, organizational infrastructure, and regulations. The application of the method resulted in multiple proposed design changes able to enhance machine sustainability and operational efficiency.
